Is God Calling you to plant a church?
Do you have a passion for a people and a place but don’t know what your next steps are?
Do you need training in fundraising, church planting preparation, and how to get to the field? Do you need coaching in how to engage a city with the gospel? Do you need to learn how to create a culture of multiplication where discipleship really happens?

OUR MISSION
The Summit SEND Church Planting Residency is an outreach of The Summit Church to help plant churches and help existing churches across America.
About the Residency
Our Residency meets from September-May each year. Currently, we meet from 9AM-3PM on Wednesdays for our in-house training. You will also be required to do some outside reading and study. We use the North American Mission Board’s “Multiply” training materials as well as materials developed by The Summit.
Every church planter that goes through the Summit Church Planting Residency will automatically be a part of the Summit Send Network for 5 years, if they so desire.
